About Me


I am 15 years old. I am on the boys golf and basketball team. Basketball is my favorite sport and I want to be a basketball player when I get older. I have one younger brother and live with my mom and dad. I like to hang out with my friends. I don't like to be really artistic. Photo_on_2010-09-28_at_13.50.jpg

Food and Fiber (Buckwheat)
1. It is grown mostly in Canada, New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and North Dakota.
2. A lot of nutritional foods are made from buckwheat. Buckwheat flower is mostly made from groats and can be used to make waffles and bread.
3. Today the most common use for buckwheat is human food. Before it was used for human food 75% of it was used for livestock and poultry. About 5% was used for seed and the rest was used foe flower.
Potato and Starch Lab-

The potatoes had osmosis and the starch solution had diffusion.

step 1. DNA unwinds.

step 2. Hydrogen bonds are broken.

step 3 and 4. Strand 1 gets a new strand 2 and strand 2 gets a new strand 1.

step 5. Hydrogen bonds reform, DNA winds back up.
Telomeres- keep the ends of the various chromosomes in the cell from accidentally becoming attached to each other.

Okazaki fragments- a section of complementary strand working in the opposite direction.

DNA ligase- stitched the Okazaki fragments together.

Telomerase- is an enzyme that adds telomere repeat sequences to the 3’s end of DNA strands.

Cancer- Most cancers arise from somatic cells. It divides indefinitely.

Transplanted cells- show contact inhibition, and do not grow in tumors.

cloning- to make a second of the same thing.

aging- getting good qualities and not being disturbed.

In DNA replication the DNA unwinds. Then the Hydrogen bonds are broken. Next strand 1 gets a new strand 2 and strand 2 gets a new strand 1. Last hydrogen bonds reform and DNA winds back up. Mitosis occurs in step 2.
